    云南包浆豆腐  Yunnan Signature Fried Tofu
    Robert C.

    Tried this place out for weekend lunch and got their truffle and mushroom rice which seemed like their main dish, along with the fried tofu and stir-fried cheung fun. Each dish was pretty good and had "very strong flavors", to the point that I wish I had a balance dish like plain rice to go along with in order to eat more, but individually speaking each dish is layered very well in flavor and worth trying out. Ambiance is nice inside, service was bare minimum - I don't mind but you may need to flag a waiter several times to get their attention. Place was full and had a wait list for seating 10-30 mins or so on a weekend noontime.

    Overall we had a very positive experience for a Friday dinner. The entire restaurant was full by the time we arrived at 5:45PM so I would say you need to go when they open. Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle Stir- fry pea sprouts Lemongrass pot chicken Banana Leaf wrapped seabass Dessert Youtiao dough bread pudding Dinosaur Cutie Taiwan Bun (Passionfruit and taro flavor) The most impressive dish is the Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice. I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

    I just checked out this Yunnan-inspired California bistro, which specializes in Yunnan-Guizhou cuisine. The character Jun means "mushroom" in Chinese. I'm a big fan of mushrooms, and I loved the umami flavors they created in each dish. I tried a few of their new and signature dishes, and my favorites were the fried tofu (crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, plus perfectly seasoned), the truffle mushroom rice (I really enjoyed the depth of flavor), and the fire-roasted eggplant with rice crackers (I loved the different layers of texture and flavor). Their drinks were also delicious, and the staff were kind and friendly!

    Jun Bistro is the best place for modern Yunnan-Chinese cuisine!! I love how each of their dishes is healthy and light while being full of flavor!! My favorite dishes are their Stir Fried Cheung Fun, the Truffle and Mushroom Butter Rice, and Laska Shrimp Fried Rice. Every bite was irresistibly delicious and I keep thinking about both dishes. Interiors is nicely decorated with greenery and staff was helpful.

    Went to Jun Bistro for an early Friday dinner at 5:30. Good thing as we grabbed one of the last open tables. There was a wait for most of the customers after us. Parking gets a little crazy in Milpitas Square, so that's another reason to go early. First thing we notice as we sit down is a giant map of China on the wall and regionality of certain mushrooms. We were destined to have at least some mushrooms. The other thing we noticed was some of the very unique dishes on the menu like silkworm pupae and steamed stinky tofu! The food: Truffle and Mushroom Butter Rice - a blend of many different mushrooms on rice. The truffle flavor is very pronounced. This was so good, I tried to mimic the recipe at home. Qianshan Chili Fragrant Frog - I love the salty spicy flavor of this dish. I've had frog a few times, but never crispy like they have it in this entree. Lemongrass Pot Chicken - chicken and potatoes with a good amount of lemongrass flavor. Hits the spot and is very comforting. Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle - large tender pieces of beef in a meaty broth Chicken Liver Pate with Chinese Donut - it tastes exactly like how it sounds. Wouldn't say it's a great match, but hard to go wrong with two ingredients that are very good by themselves. Steamed Stinky Tofu - the texture of this dish was like previously fried tofu that was steamed. It was ok, but I vastly prefer the fried version. Jun Bistro was packed for a reason - interesting dishes, bursting with flavor. Makes us want to come back and try other things on the menu.

    Disappointed with the quality of one of our dishes. Jun Bistro specializes in Yunnan cuisine, with a focus on mushroom-based dishes. We visited on a weekday, and the restaurant was quite busy; there was a wait for a table, and the dishes took some time to arrive. The main issue was the fish dish, which took over 30 minutes and arrived significantly undercooked and cold on the inside, with only the outer layer slightly warm. After checking with the server, they confirmed it wasn't properly cooked and offered a replacement dish, but by then, we were no longer willing to wait for another 30+minutes for a fish replacement, so we opted for an additional appetizer. While this may have been an isolated mistake, proper quality control is important--especially with dishes like fish. Fortunately, we did not experience any adverse effects. The other dishes we tried were decent, but none stood out.

    Came on a weekday for dinner had a pretty solid experience overall. Ordered the stinky tofu, truffle and mushroom rice, and the spicy ground pork rice noodle soup. The stinky tofu was definitely very stinky, exactly how I wanted it. Flavor was good, but it's one of those dishes that's probably not for everyone. The rice noodle soup was tangy and slightly sweet, with the tomato flavor really standing out. It wasn't very spicy despite what the menu suggested. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking, but still a solid dish overall. The highlight was easily the truffle and mushroom rice. Super aromatic and every bite was packed with flavor. I'd honestly come back just for this. Service was good, and the ambiance was nice with some plants in the middle adding to the vibe. It was pretty packed when we were there, so water refills weren't as frequent, but nothing I'd dock points for. Would certainly return.

    Very solid Yunnan style restaurant - their take is to fuse Yunnan with Californian cuisine Service is very attentive and detailed they filled my water a good amount and also even called me to make sure I got my reservation spot when I was walking around outside Food is very balanced and executed well. Nothing really popped flavor wise - I expected more mushroom flavors at the center stage, BUT everything did taste yummy and I kind of think their intention was to make the mushrooms more subtle. I do like how it's incorporated into almost every dish. Would recommend and would come back!! The salad was very refreshing - sprinkles of mint leaves and the pickled radish?? Wasn't overly acidic. Also decent portion of mushrooms included it was a set of fun chewy textures. Mushrooms not overcooked. Saw them using good woks and high heat through the kitchen window Truffle mushroom rice was great!!! it was like clay pot rice without the clay pot but the mushroom flavor didnt really infuse too much into the rice. Truffle flavor came through tho and good butteriness + fat from the pork sausage

    First time at this place and it was poppin since it opened. We got on the waitlist and went next door for some mango treat while waiting. We waited for about 30 mins for 4 adults and a child. The service was fast and the portions were big. Honestly other than the mushroom rice I wasn't too impressed with all the other dines. We got a laksa fried rice and it didn't taste like anything other than just fried rice ? And the chicken was nothing special other than the sauce, but it also just taste like mayo and sriracha. The coffee was tiny less than 12oz and charges for $7 and the stinky tofu was super salty. Other than the mushroom rice I prolly will not come back again .

    Omg this place blew me away. Came here on a Tuesday night with a friend for New Year's Eve dinner. The place is beautifully decorated and the service is very fast. We ordered the Mushroom and Daisy leaf salad, fried tofu, stinky tofu, and Shrimp Fried Rice. Everything was superb but the daisy leaf salad was amazing and I'm coming back for that! Also we ordered the Rose Latte and Soymilk latte. Both delicious!

    We came here for Valentine's Day dinner for our first time. I am not a big fish person so we stuck with chicken dishes. We got the chicken and potato curry, fried tofu, greens and the bread pudding. I really enjoyed everything, the garlic in the greens were so good. The fried tofu wasn't very exciting, I won't be getting that in the future. The bread pudding was also a fun not too sweet dessert. Everything came out quickly and we didn't have to wait too long!

    Ive always seen this place busy when walking around Milpitas mall and usually with a wait oustide. The outdoor menu pics really looked great so decided to give it a try. Unique & delicious Yunan food , definitely sets itself aparts from the other great restaurants at this mall. Street food menu is genius - loved seeing that. Food was unique, expertly crafted and definitely come back again. Well done Chef! Street Food Menu - Crispy Oyster Mushroom Tempura- 5/5 Probably my most favorite item. Super crispy , a bit spicy, high in umami flavour. Reminds me of Taiwanese popcorn chicken but entirely a whole new level. Kudos to the Chef. Stir Fry Cheung Fun 5/5: I've had alot of Chow Fun - This is probably the best version I've had. The chow fun is not long strips but wrapped into small pieces - its why its unique. Bacon pieces , garlic oil, chive, Stir Fry , Yunnan fermented mustard Leaf. Whats not to love? Finished the entire dish. Couldnt stop eating. Spicy Potato Pot Chicken 5/5. All the flavours on this one was on point. chicken, potatoes, peppers, Chili paste. Spice level was through the roof. Notice there are 3 peppers next to the menu item. My friend can eat very spicy but this one was enough to make her eyeballs bug out - in a good way :P Ordering 3/5: Ordering from QR code was difficult - so many items on the menu and small QR code phone menus are the worst. Waiter was helpful and brought us paper menu. no pictures on the menu :(. Bouncing back and forth between phone and hard menu - finally placed the order. Interior: 4/5 Cozy, bright modern. I love the clean interior. Its a bit cramped if your sitting in the middle. I saw a couple move from the middle seating area to large table when it opened. Waitlist: 4/5 Some reason this kiosk does not take your phone #. No chance to walk around the mall while you wait for your table. You'll need to wait oustide to have your name called.

    I seriously don't understand the hype or all the high reviews for this place. We ordered the banana leaf wrapped sea bass, and while the presentation looked nice at first, the actual flavor was disappointing. The sauce completely overpowered the fish and tasted overly oily, heavy, and unbalanced instead of rich or flavorful. The sea bass itself didn't taste very fresh, and the texture was way too soft in a bad way. Wrapping it in banana leaf made the dish look fancy, but it honestly felt like presentation was doing all the work instead of the actual cooking quality. Even the herbs and chili on top couldn't save it. Definitely one of those dishes that looks amazing in photos but tastes painfully average in real life. What made it even funnier was noticing some of the plates had small cracks on them. Like seriously? You're charging these prices and still serving customers with cracked plates?

So I tried to talk to him to see if there's any other options, like Zelle or Venmo, or maybe I can go to a nearby ATM and get some cash. He ignored me and did not respond, and left. I walked around, was finally able to get a waitress who was willing to talk to me. I explained that I didn't know they only took cash and I wonder if I can pay through other ways.

Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.
